I bought the EVS-BJ2 Ballistic Jersey w/ Kidney Belt about a year ago and I would recommend this product to anyone looking for upper body protection. The jersey has plastic armor covering your chest, back, elbows and shoulders and also comes with a kidney belt. The jersey has saved me many times from injury considering I have a tendancy to examine the dirt up close. EVS has a bunch of different style jerseys including short sleeve jerseys. If you enjoy examining the dirt as often as I do I would definately sink some money into this product, I may look like a wussy wearing it but I'm still riding w/o injury!!
